Enhance Your Self-Awareness
Discover What Drives You at Work and Improve Team Synergy
The Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI) is a comprehensive tool for understanding workplace personality, offering valuable insights into your core motivations, behaviors, and relationship dynamics in professional environments. With these insights, you can enhance your understanding of others, improve self-management, and foster stronger, more effective professional relationships.
What is the Strengths Development Inventory (SDI)?
The SDI offers a comprehensive understanding of your workplace personality through four interrelated perspectives:
-
Two that uncover what truly drives you at work.
-
Two that highlight your preferred strengths—the behaviors you most often use (and sometimes overuse) in collaboration.
Motivational Value System (MVS)
At the heart of the SDI is your unique Motivational Value System (MVS). Everyone is driven by a blend of three core motives—People, Performance, and Process. Your MVS highlights what truly motivates you in positive circumstances, giving insight into how you approach tasks and make decisions. Understanding your MVS allows you to harness your strengths, elevate team synergy, and boost satisfaction and productivity.
Conflict Sequence
The SDI doesn’t just identify your primary motivations; it also reveals how they shift under pressure. Your Conflict Sequence illustrates changes in your motives during workplace obstacles or interpersonal tensions. Gaining insight into your Conflict Sequence equips you to navigate challenges, improve team dynamics, and sustain productivity, even under stress.
Strengths Portrait
In SDI, strengths are defined as behaviors that lead to positive professional relationships. Your personalized Strengths Portrait ranks the behaviors you’re most likely to use at work. This portrait shows how you naturally approach tasks and relationships, giving you the tools to improve collaboration and enhance overall performance.
Overdone Strengths
While strengths are crucial, even positive qualities can become liabilities when overused. Your Overdone Strengths Portrait reveals which strengths you’re prone to overuse, potentially causing conflicts or reducing productivity. By understanding these tendencies, you can develop greater self-awareness, improve professional relationships, and refine your approach to different work scenarios.
